Did users who use the Z370 motherboard notice that your BIOS has been updated in July?
For example, MSI Gaming is The BIOS updated on July 13 wrote 'Support for a new generation CPU', while other vendors wrote 'Support for 8 generations of CPU new products'.
The trick is that July is still , 8th generation Core has not released new products (Xeon E-2100 does not support Z370), and the most recent one is i7-8086K during the Taipei Computer Show.
Therefore, the outside world believes that This is for the Core 9000 series. It has appeared in Intel's microcode update log before, but was quickly deleted after being exposed by the media.
From the naming point of view, the 9000 series should correspond to the 9th generation Core, but if this batch of BIOS is indeed prepared for it, Then the 9000 series has to belong to the 8th generation CPU. Specifically, including i3-9000, i3-9100, i5-9400, i5-9400T, i5-9500, i5-9600 and i5-9600K.
The biggest point of the 9000 series is the rumor that the top model i9-9900K is 8 cores and 16 threads. However, the process is still 14nm++, and the new chipset Z390 continues the 22nm lithography.
